Selfie behavior, the act of taking a picture of oneself and distributing it on social media, has become increasingly popular. Researching how to communicate with others in a social context and express hoped-for self through selfies is essential for studying consumers in the digital age. This study investigates the effects of reflected appraisals on selfie expectations and selfie behaviors. Additionally, the interaction effect of hoped-for self on the relationships between reflected appraisals and selfie expectations was tested. A web-based survey was conducted on consumers above the age of 20 who have engaged in selfie behavior in the past month. A total of 495 responses were collected from a panel of online survey firms. The survey results were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis by AMOS 21.0 and bootstrap analysis by SPSS Macro process Model 4 and 7. Results indicated that reflected appraisals influenced selfie behavior, which was fully mediated by selfie expectations. Furthermore, the effect of reflected appraisals on selfie behavior was moderated by hoped-for self. The results will serve as a theoretical basis for understanding the psychological expectations in which selfie behavior is formed in a social context and can be applied in psychotherapy and marketing in practice.

Recently, a popularity of the smartphone is on the rise. And also related services are being created. The growth of the smart technology makes advanced equipment for smartphone accessories. Selfie-rod is one of them. Selfie-rod satisfies people who want to take their own picture at long distance. However, the weight of recent selfie-rods is too heavy that has nice functions. So, we have re-designed new selfie-rod that has light-weight body. First, we observed a selfie-rod and check the reason of the selfie-rod's high weight. The new selfie-rod has a shell and inside, there is a space that it can be light-weight. The shell and space make the selfie-rod lighter. In FreeCAD, we designed shell with a rotation function. Finally, we designed light-weight body selfie-rod with FreeCAD. FreeCAD can be used easily for beginners of CAD. FreeCAD is suitable 3D-design tool for era of 3D-printing.

Selfie practices on social media can result in negative body image for men. The current study investigated the dual body image pathway model for the relationship between selfie practices on social media and body satisfaction, with internalization as a mediator. Structural equation modeling analyses supported our research model when studying 446 young Korean male Instagram users. The results indicated that selfie editing behavior, but not selfie browsing behavior, significantly predicted an increased internalization of a body ideal. The positive associations between internalization, muscularity dissatisfaction, and body fat dissatisfaction were confirmed. Additionally, the indirect effects of selfie editing behavior on muscularity and body fat dissatisfaction due to internalization were significant. The study confirmed the detrimental effects of selfie behavior on body satisfaction for male social media users. The results provided valuable information that selfie editing may be a risky behavior since it can result in developing muscularity and body fat dissatisfaction. Theoretical contributions and practical implications were discussed. Future research should address the age and cultural differences that may elucidate the impacts of selfie practices on men's body image concerns.

The objective of the study is to develop selfie sticks to enhance portability and prevent error of pushing mobile phone button. The main target of selfie sticks is women and the size of selfie sticks is too big to put it in their bag. Also when people put mobile phone in a selfie stick, people push its button easily. Sometimes mobile phone is turned off or the volume is controlled because of pushing its button. The researcher focused on designing a solution that enhances portability and preventing error of pushing the button. The researcher understood structure of selfie stick. It consists of a mobile phone supporter and a length adjuster. The researcher designed the mobile phone supporter for enhancing portability and the length adjuster for preventing to push the mobile phone. The researcher designed a part which connects a mobile phone supporter with a length adjuster and made selfie stick fold. Also, sponges are partly put on the mobile supporter. It can reduce situation of pushing the mobile phone button. The selfie stick design from the study has an opportunity to distinguish using the product and carrying it and have people use the selfie stick conveniently.

This research examined the effects of Narcissism as socio-psychological factor and physical features such as BMI on the selfie behavior. The participants of the study were SNS users aged 20-29 years recruited in Daegu and surrounding areas. Statistical analysis including factor analysis, ANOVA, cluster analysis and regression was done using SPSS 23.0 to analyze the results. Two groups with high other-dependent Narcissism showed higher levels of Cosmetic surgery management and clothing management compared to other groups. Among 4 clusters divided by BMI, the lower the BMI, the higher the level of appearance management behavior except for body management. Other-dependent Narcissism and BMI have been shown to have a significant effect on selfie behavior in the relationship of Narcissism, BMI and selfie behavior. In the relationship between appearance management behavior and selfie behavior, only beauty treatment management influenced selfie improvement behavior, and all appearance management behaviors affected selfie complement behavior. Fashion brands should use the relationship between Narcissism, appearance management behavior and selfie behavior in planning selfie related events on SNS as well as consider active collaboration with cosmetics brands. It is necessary to investigate selfie behavior from a more diverse perspective by expanding future research targets and diversify related variables.

In this paper, the FREECAD 0.14 was used for modeling conventional Selfie-stick and the newly proposed Selfie-stick design. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the utility of FREECAD 0.14, which is open-source and still in development for further use. After modeling the conventional Selfie-stick, CatiyaV5 was used to assemble FREECAD 0.14 drawn elements. Main advance in newly designed Selfie-stick is the portability. To improve portability of the Selfie-stick, folding mechanism was adopted from folding LED stands. Several mechanisms were adopted to improve user convenience as well. Ansys 14.0 was used for structural analyses of conventional Selfie-stick model and the newly designed model as well. Several simplifications for the models were needed to process the analyses. When analyzing the newly designed model various materials were used one by one to find compatible composition. Using Aluminum alloys for the stick and the hand grip was found to be compatible. FREECAD was useful for suggestion of the newly designed model but not so much useful to design an actual product. Various efforts would make FREECAD the best choice for industrial use for free as it is named.

This study examines the mediating effects of learned helplessness and procrastination in the relationship between covert narcissim and selfie addiction proneness among women. The study subjects were 286 women with a mean age of 23.78(SD=4.34) years. The results of the study are as follows. First, there were significantly positive correlations between covert narcissism, self-objectification, self-presentational motivation, and selfie addiction proneness. Second, covert narcissism, self-objectification, self-presentational motivation were significant predictors for selfie addiction proneness and they accounted 25.7% for variance of selfie addiction proneness. Especially, self-presentational motivation accounted for selfie addiction proneness the most. Third, mediating effect analysis showed self-objectification had partial mediation effect on the relation between covert narcissism and selfie addiction proneness and self-presentational motivation had a partial mediating effect on the relation between covert narcissism and selfie addiction proneness. It is significant for this study to define the concept of selfie addiction proneness and understand psychological variables which significantly account for it. Limitations of the study and suggestions for the future studies were discussed.

Corresponding to the high consumption rate of the selfie stick for cell phone camera, the design of the product is becoming diverse. However, relatively low cost selfie stick models are not strong enough to stand the weight of the cell phone. This results into a bending of the stick or the accidental fall of the cell phone by the failure of the holding unit. As a solution to the problem, design of selfie stick that is structurally strong enough to stand the weight of the cell phone with the minimum weight for the portability is proposed in this paper.
